Gene information for CYP20A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57404
Official gene symbolCYP20A1
Full namecytochrome P450, family 20, subfamily A, polypeptide 1
Aliases,CYP-M,MGC22229,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases that catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein lacks one amino acid of the conserved heme binding site. It also lacks the conserved I-helix motif AGX(D,E)T, suggesting that its substrate may carry its own oxygen. [provided by RefSeq]
